==Plot Summary==<br />
Andy and Barney decide to organize their twentieth high school reunion, and all <br />
the excitement centers on the return of Andy's old flame Sharon Despain. It <br />
looks like the torch may be relit when Sharon shows up and she and Andy pick up <br />
right where they left off, in the garden outside. They wonder what ever happened <br />
when it finally occurs to them both that what seperated them in high school is <br />
what seperates them now. Sharon wants the bright lights and big city, and Andy <br />
is happy to stay where he is.<br />
<br />
== Odd Facts Known by Few ==<br />
* The high school yearbook, the Cutlass, gives [[Barney Fife#Trivia|Barney's]] middle name as Milton.<br />
* Actor Paul Smith would return the next season in the TAGS episode "Ernest T. Bass Joins The Army" as an Army doctor.<br />
* Actress Peggy McCay appeared for over 25 years (1983-present) on the tv soap opera "Days Of Our Lives". Attended Barnard College (the same as TAGS character "Ellie Walker") and earned a bachelor of arts from Columbia University<br />
* Actor Dan ("Grizzly Adams") Haggerty has the dubious distinction of being the only actor to ever have his name removed from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The chairman mistakenly spelled "Dan Haggerty" on the plaque when the honor was supposed to have gone to Don. Dan later was honored with his own star.<br />
* In discussing his slight frame, Barney confesses to Andy that when he was 17 he could reach into a milk bottle and pull out an egg. That same reference was used again in the court room scene in "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken."<br />
